O+S, 3 hrs Red smelter, 2.5 hrs Blue smelter, 2 hrs Pontiff, 1hr And don't ask why I took so long on blue smelter lol. | ||

Once its you vs the King, it gets better IMO. His attacks are pretty well telegraphed and he can break your shield guard but dodging one attack ensures you can block rest with a shield without getting broken. Lightning damage will be negligible with Lothric Knight Shield. You get hits in when you can. After a rotation he finishes with a heavy slam down and you can get hits in, when he summons lightning strikes if you're near him you can get a hit in and block/dodge away the lightning. Additionally you can stagger him for some reason. You can't perform a critical on him, but you can get 2-3 swings in after you stagger him if you watched your stamina. Ideal distance to him is to be near him. Long enough to prepare to dodge/block but close enough to get a hit in if he decided to spam lightning. Not "in your face" close, and not "fuck this shit I want out running around the border of the arena" far. Additionally I had 15 +10 estus there so... yeah big margin to fuck up for me. | ||

More talk about that boss - + Show Spoiler + Just beat him. Got to him at level 75. Initial attempts with my warden twinblades/bleed build (I'm mostly luck based) failed miserably. Those weapons cannot hit the camera boss phase 1. It's so stupid that the only difficulty in that phase is being unable to see what the boss is doing, and the tiny hitbox/learned windows for the head. Switching to Anri's Straight Sword made hitting the head possible though. Phase 2 was a fun fight, wish I didn't have to beat the camera boss each time to get there. Apparently it can be poise broken though? On my kill, I broke his poise while channeling something, Riposted, then r1 spammed like 1/2 his health away, killing him. Eh. | ||

Also, I want to get all achievements which mostly means getting all the rings. Am I right to assume I can rush NG+ and then get all the +1 and +2 rings in NG++ anyway ? Then farm all those covenants... T-T | ||

Had a hard time on Nameless King phase 2 until I equipped Carthus Blood Ring. The difference in damage taken doesn't change a thing against him, he was still two-shooting me anyway. Also, I want to get all achievements which mostly means getting all the rings. Am I right to assume I can rush NG+ and then get all the +1 and +2 rings in NG++ anyway ? Then farm all those covenants... T-T I dunno how ring achievement works, but I assume it counts all unique rings, not +1 or +2 versions. You'd still want to go to NG because of boss souls anyway, for all sorceries, all miracles, all pyromancies. I also wanted to say just how stupidly good a +10 Refined Zweihander is for a 40/40 quality build. Out of 10 times I got invaded in NG I lost once to Irathyll Rapier clown in Undead Settlement. I've killed 5 Farron's Watchdogs during my time in the swap and 4 reds in the Smouldering Lake. Zwei 3-4 shots people, and is exactly how many times I can swing it. If someone gets hit once its 85% probable I will stunlock them and finish them that 1 time. I've faced 2x Dark Sword/Shield combo, FUGS, 2x other Zwei, 1x Farron Greatsword and some other weapons that I forget at the moment. Anyway, 2-handing the Zwei is amazing vs invaders. | ||

The giants are easiest to kill by ankle-biting. Just 2 hand your weapon. Its near impossible for them to hit you. Sometimes they'll land a stomp but that happens also once in a blue moon. Also: Don't give up, Skeleton! I'm gonna make a pyro soon and after that maybe a hybrid of faith and dex. | ||

Went back and tried to just kill the giants.. Those things are SOOOO easy to kill.. And they give a good amount of souls too. For some reason i thought they were virtually unkillable.. >_> live and learn. | ||

It weighs 25.5 Units and has S scaling in STR at +5. In addition, you can put rasins on it. For STR weapons PvE its still one of the very best. PvP, well... we're seeing it less and less. | ||
